Description of problem:
The -bs flag just takes sources, patches and a .spec file and packs
them as a .src.rpm file.
It surely shouldn't matter if the BuildRequires fail on the machine
that does this packing?
You are, after all, not actually building the thing yet.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm-4.2.1-0.30
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Take a .spec file (foo.spec)
2. Add a BuildRequires line for some package you don't have (bar-devel)
3. Try 'rpmbuild -bs foo.spec'
Actual Results: error: Failed build dependencies:
bar-devel is needed by foo-2.3.4-5
Expected Results: I'd expect foo-2.3.4-5.src.rpm to be created.
Additional info:

<blush>
I didn't know you could use --nodeps on 'rpmbuild', though I suppose I
should have tried it 'just in case'.
</blush>
A minor follow-on then: '--nodeps' isn't mentioned in the man page for
rpmbuild.
